The senior backcourt duo combined to score 58 points, leading top-ranked host Pinnacle to an 84-58 rout Tuesday night before an overflow crowd at Pinnacle that punched the Pioneers' ticket to the 6A semifinals.

Mannion, a point guard who has signed with Arizona, surpassed 2,000 points as he scored 35. He now has 2,019 points in his three-year varsity career. He could have gone for more than 3,000 next year, but Mannion reclassified from 2020 to 2019 during the summer to get to UA sooner.

This might have been the largest crowd at Pinnacle's 4,000-seat gym, maybe even bigger than on Nov. 30 when Mannion hit a buzzer-beating 3 to end Shadow Mountain's long winning streak against Arizona teams.

There were fans lined up and down the aisles. They were around the corners of the court, hoping to catch the best big-school basketball rivalry in Arizona.

For a while, No. 8 Brophy hung in against Pinnacle. The teams were tied at 17 after a quarter. Brophy fought back after Mannion scored eight points in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the third quarter to make it a two-point game. Guard Marques White (21 points) started heating up.

But then it was Mannion and Brown delivering lethal blows.

Mannion scored on a short jumper, hit Brown for a 3, scored on two straight drives and found Brown again for another 3 to end the quarter. Suddenly, it was 40-33, Pinnacle.

Mannion finished with 35 points, Brown 23.

Even Marcus Libman chipped in with a couple of 3s in a row to keep Brophy from threatening in the final quarter.

"They do take over," Pinnacle coach Charlie Wilde said. "Our big thing in the first half was offensive rebounding. When you get five guys rebounding, it helps a lot.

"We got the rebounds. We got guys out in transition a little bit. That's where we thrive in that situation."

Brown suffered a sprained ankle that caused him to miss a game against Scottsdale Chaparral, in which the Pioneers needed a Mannion 3 at the end to win 91-88, on Feb. 1.

He hasn't missed a practice since and looked 100 percent Tuesday.

"It's progressing way better than I thought," Brown said. "I wrap it up real tight before the games, and I pretty much don't feel it."
